Estimates the Absorbed dose [mg/Kg*day] of chemicals through dermal contact with a soil
1 | AD(CS = 1, SA = 2800, AF = 0.2, ABS = 0.001, EF = 350, ED = 24, BW = 70, AT = 365 * 70)
|
CS |
Chemical concentration in soil [mg/Kg] |
SA |
Skin surface area available for contact [cm^2] |
AF |
Skin adherence factor [mg/cm^2] |
ABS |
Absorption factor (Chemical specific) [-] |
EF |
Exposure frequency [day/yr] |
ED |
Exposure duration [yr] |
BW |
Body weight [Kg] |
AT |
Averaging time [day] (Note that for No carcinogenic effects AT should be equal to 365*ED) |
